Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that if the official investigation shows any trace of Ukrainian involvement in Darya Dugina's assassination then Kiev has implemented a State terrorism policy.

The Russian Investigative Committee reported on Sunday morning that a criminal case has been opened in connection with the assassination of Aleksandr Dugin's daughter, Darya Dugina.

Darya Dugina, 30, has been formally identified as the victim of the explosion outside Moscow, according to the agency.

According to authorities, a bomb blasted through her Toyota Land Cruiser outside the town of Bolshie Vyazemy in Moscow Region at 9:35 pm local time on Saturday. It is suspected that a bomb detonated inside the car, which subsequently caught fire. The Investigative Committee said that “The female driver, who was behind the wheel, has been killed on site.”

According to Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, if the allegation of a Ukrainian connection to the death of journalist and political analyst Darya Dugina is confirmed by the appropriate authorities, Kiev is engaging in its policy of state terrorism.

"The Russian law enforcement authorities are investigating the death of Darya Dugina. If the Ukrainian trace is confirmed, and this version was voiced by DPR head Denis Pushilin, and it must be verified by the competent authorities, then we are talking about the policy of state terrorism implemented by the Kiev regime," Zakharova wrote on Telegram.

The FM spokesperson further recounted a variety of incidents throughout the years, ranging from political appeals for violence against the ruling class to the involvement of Ukrainian official entities in criminal activity.

"We are waiting for the results of the investigation," she concluded.

On Saturday evening, Dugin was giving a lecture in Moscow on "Tradition and History" at a traditional family festival in Moscow; Dugina attended the event as a guest. Reports are claiming that Dugin planned to leave the festival with his daughter, but instead took a separate car. Darya took her father's Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

Zakhar Prilepin, a political activist and writer from Russia who participated in the festival, made the observation that Ukraine may be responsible for the bombing.

"They do things like this. They’ve crossed the line long ago,”  he stated on Telegram, citing the assassination, in 2018, of Aleksandr Zakharchenko, the former head of the Donetsk People's Republic, which Kiev was held accountable for, as well as other prominent bombings in the Donbass region in more recent years.
